Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] A. Purpose of the invention [Industrial application field] This invention enables efficient bathing of amputees who have difficulty walking, long-term bedridden patients, etc., while reducing the labor of caregivers. The present invention relates to a patient bathing device.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, continuous bathing systems have been introduced in nursing care facilities that accommodate many patients with lower limb disabilities who have difficulty walking or patients who have been bedridden for long periods of time, in order to efficiently bathe a large number of patients and reduce fatigue of caregivers. .

As an example of this type of bathing device, for example,
There is a bathing device for physically disabled persons disclosed in Publication No. 41595. The basics of this bathing device are a washing table for washing the patient while on a stretcher, a bathtub with an elevating section,
This is a combination of a wiping stand for wiping the person who has been pulled up from the bathtub while on a stretcher, and a movable stand installed between the washing stand, the bathtub, and the wiping stand.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

Various arrangement configurations of this combination are shown in Fig. 1 and Figs. FIGS. 11A and 11B) require extra equipment for the moving table, and in order for an assistant to go around to the moving table side and assist the patient, it takes time and effort to temporarily remove the moving table.

In addition, a configuration in which the washstand is directly connected to the bathtub (Fig. 11C,
D) has the disadvantage that the wash water splashes into the bathtub, and the layout is unorganized.

In addition, in order to smoothly move the stretcher between the bathtub, moving table, washing table or cleaning table, and transport vehicle (stretcher) that are not connected for positioning, the rollers on the top of each table are arranged uniformly over the entire surface of each table. It must be arranged so that some of the rollers always rest against the underside of the stretcher. This results in disadvantages such as an increase in the weight of each unit and an increase in price.

B. Structure of the invention [Means for solving the problem] In view of the above problems, the present invention allows the caregiver to wash and bathe the patient by going all around the bathing patient without splashing the washing water into the bathtub. The patient can be easily moved between the washing table or the cleaning table and the bathtub without using an intermediate moving table, and is lightweight and compact, reducing the cost. The purpose of this invention is to provide a bathing device for patients that can obtain the desired results.
